A $300,000 drainage improvement project in Wilmington's Kelly Road area is finished, according to a news release.

The city replaced a deteriorated metal pipe with a new 30-inch pipe to better address flooding during heavy rains.

About 600 feet of pipe was installed between Kelly Road and Antelope Trail Drive, according to the city. The new pipe system replaced the deteriorated pipe and a ditch that was full of debris, according to the city. The work, which started in December, wrapped up this month.
